They canceled Atlantis for this?????

I've seen every episode so far. The only thing exciting that happened was in the first episode discovering the 9th chevron. Since then, nothing has happened. Just a soap opera of people stuck on a ship.

It's just a wannabe show, trying to be too many things. Trying to be a BSG with the grainy camera work. Too many wannabe characters. The wannabe Geddy Lee (and having the nerve to name him Dr. Rush) wannabe Charleze Theron (Johansen) wannabe Jonah Hill (Eli) wannabe Channing Tatum (Scott) wannabe Sandra Oh (Wray).

Atlantis had a hell of an interesting story line going on with likable characters. While the premise of SGU sounds interesting, I'd be more likely to watch if they were actually out exploring a new universe instead of watching a bunch of nonsense inside a ship.
